Although he wasn't the first to come up with this or was he?]
Readme Fix: I forgot to put the + in the Hold script binds.
edit (29/02/13): There was a 3-second long timer I put in this .zip accidentally instead of the default 4-second .wav. I only noticed the mistake when a friend said the timing felt odd.

About:
______
OK, for those that don't know, in TFC all grenades have an audio beep timer.wav, but the timing you hear varies from server to server,
most noticeably when playing overseas. There is an age-old "fix" by making it client sided, by remaining the default timer to mytimer.wav and putting it in:/tfc/sound/vox,
then putting a blank timer.wav in /tfc/sound/weapons/, and using a script.

Install:
________
-Choose a script and put it in 'userconfig.cfg' (if it does not exist make it or put in 'autoexexc.cfg').
-Put the 'tfc' folder in: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\ACCOUNTNAME\team fortress classic

NOTE:

"Default Style" works fine but "Primer" doesn't always respond well, not for me anyway. Don't know why.
I made do with doing this instead:
bind "f" "primeone;spk mytimer" //Prime Primary Grenades
bind "MOUSE4" "primetwo;spk mytimer" //Prime Secondary Grenades
bind "MOUSE5" "throwgren" //Release Grenades
